Mellow earthy sweet carrots with aromatic toasted coriander with citrus undertones; Carrot and Coriander Soup.
Get some pulverised liquid down your nozzle and let your senses go into overdrive. And, savour.
This dish will shatter your belief that vegan food is difficult to make.
Make this:
- When you’ve had a long day at work and need a scrummy meal as you sit on the sofa and watch your favourite chick flick
- When you’ve been out on a cold day to tend to the garden and need a wholesome dish that will pecker you up
- When you’ve been for a long walk round the block, taken your shoes off and need a refreshing dish to easy you in to the rest of your day
Carrot and Coriander Soup was inspired when trekking up Snowdonia, coming back down on a miserable day and huddling down to a quaint café where Carrot and Coriander Soup with lashings of warm toasted sourdough bread was being served.
Coriander has such versatility with differing tastes to its leaves, stems and seeds. Native to the Mediterranean and Middle East, it is extensively cultivated globally for its culinary uses.
Carrot and Coriander Soup is vegan and paleo.
